Since 1 March 2021, HSBC Asset Management has been operating a securities lending programme for the benefit of ETF fund investors. Securities lending is a practice within capital markets whereby a holder of a security, such as an ETF, temporarily lends some of its securities out to a borrower in exchange for collateral and a fee. It is a well-established process within the investment management industry used to enhance fund performance through additional income earned.
The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. For more detailed information on how the programme affects a specific ETF, please visit the Fund Centre and refer to the Securities Lending Programme within the Documents section.
A dedicated team on hand to help with ETF execution
We understand that simple and cost-efficient execution of your ETF trade can be just as important as the performance of the ETF itself.
As such, we are on hand for all enquiries relating to buying or selling of the HSBC ETFs. The team is constantly monitoring liquidity and pricing and communicating with Authorised Participants and Liquidity Providers. We take care to understand your specific requirements and provide expertise to help in your decision-making.
Pre-trade analysis – Liquidity analysis looking at both secondary and primary market liquidity; Market impact and expected trade costs for buy, sell and switch trades
Secondary market surveillance – Monitoring of spreads, volumes and trading data across all exchanges and listing venues
APs and liquidity providers – Connections with all key ETF liquidity providers in Europe; Facilitates access to axes, inventories and distribution trades
The value of an investment in the portfolios and any income from them can go down as well as up and as with any investment you may not receive back the amount originally invested.
Counterparty Risk : The possibility that the counterparty to a transaction may be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives can behave unexpectedly. The pricing and volatility of many derivatives may diverge from strictly reflecting the pricing or volatility of their underlying reference(s), instrument or asset.
Emerging Markets Risk : Emerging markets are less established, and often more volatile, than developed markets and involve higher risks, particularly market, liquidity and currency risks.
Exchange Rate Risk : Changes in currency exchange rates could reduce or increase investment gains or investment losses, in some cases significantly.
Investment Leverage Risk Investment : Leverage occurs when the economic exposure is greater than the amount invested, such as when derivatives are used. A Fund that employs leverage may experience greater gains and/or losses due to the amplification effect from a movement in the price of the reference source.
Liquidity Risk Liquidity Risk is the risk that a Fund may encounter difficulties meeting its obligations in respect of financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets, thereby compromising existing or remaining investors.
Operational Risk Operational risks may subject the Fund to errors affecting transactions, valuation, accounting, and financial reporting, among other things.
Real Estate Investments Risk Real estate and related investments can be negatively impacted by any factor that makes an area or individual property less valuable.
Further information on the potential risks can be found in the Key Information Document (KID) and/ or the Prospectus.
